You Are the Ones - Her Bright Skies

Mother, I’m still the boy you raised

I learn from my mistakes, and do better

And father, I’ll never be half the man

But I’m trying the best I can

To keep us all together

Rather be damned than have to go through life alone

Yeah, I just wanted you to know that you are the ones

Rather be damned than have to make it on my own

Yeah, I just want you all to know that you are the ones

Sister, we don’t talk that much

But when you grow up, I’ll be there forever

And brother, they say that you’re a lot like me

Well that’s not what you want to be

Cause you can do so much better

Rather be damned than have to go through life alone

Yeah, I just wanted you to know that you are the ones

Rather be damned than have to make it on my own

Yeah, I just want you all to know that you are the ones

You are the drug that keeps me sane

You are the smile that I can’t fake

You are the ones, you are the ones

You are the high when I am low

You are the hours on the phone

You are the ones, you are the ones

You are the sharp end of my pen

You are the ink under my skin;

You are the ones, you are the ones
